Any new tech is going to have to prove itself, ramp up production and work through all of those QC/QA issues. So it will likely be 2 years from the announcement of useable tech before any of us will switch.Brian Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456672262242780223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-17295139140705741932013-05-10T12:14:49.518-04:002013-05-10T12:14:49.518-04:00Neither Genia nor Genapsys has shown any actual se...Neither Genia nor Genapsys has shown any actual sequencing to my knowledge. Genia also changed their chemistry plan late last year. <br /><br />Even if either of these (or Oxford Nanopore, or all the other exotic sequencing tech companies out there) could demonstrate actual function by the end of this year, it is another thing entirely to gain market acceptance & scale up your manufacturing to the scale that MiSeq is at, let alone HiSeq.Keith Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765318239070312590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-44514290195070571322013-05-10T11:48:52.017-04:002013-05-10T11:48:52.017-04:00I'm surprised not seing any mention of Geniach...I'm surprised not seing any mention of Geniachip.com nor Genapsys.com two very short term MySeq killers Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-70611841985830135142013-04-30T16:22:05.377-04:002013-04-30T16:22:05.377-04:00WRT Ion, I conflated Torrent and Proton.

If they really reach their lofty goals, then there might be some discussion, but for whole human genome sequencing Proton isn't yet economically competitive.Keith Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765318239070312590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-14025977147360278632013-04-30T15:03:04.691-04:002013-04-30T15:03:04.691-04:00I enjoyed the article, but it seems a bit misleadi...I enjoyed the article, but it seems a bit misleading to compare current Illumina technologies to the Ion Torrent and not even mention the most current Ion platform (the Ion Proton). I'd be curious to know how much the market Ion Proton could consume if they continue on their current trajectory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-87280296282228543322013-04-27T10:41:39.151-04:002013-04-27T10:41:39.151-04:00My view is in a year or two, the only one who has ...My view is in a year or two, the only one who has the chance to dethrone Illumina is oxford nanopore (well, Illumina still holds some of its shares IIRC). Personally, I am quite impressed by the progress Illumina has made since 2008. Other technologies are not bad. Just they have been outpaced by Illumina. I have seen Illumina's 400bp data. The tail is not as good as 250bp, but probably Illumina will overcome the problem internally in several months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-17195192448702326212013-04-26T08:13:28.795-04:002013-04-26T08:13:28.795-04:00Great post as always!
